| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: This technical report presents a systematic review of the scientific literature on the social acceptance of mining in the context of the energy transition. The analysis covered 118 publications from 1998 to 2025 in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, integrating quantitative and qualitative methods. The results show the growth of the field (7.47% per year) and reveal the following central factors for social acceptance: community participation, transparency, procedural justice, institutional trust, and conflict management. Regional differences were identified: in Europe, the emphasis falls on governance and transparency, whereas in Latin America socio-environmental justice, conflicts, and expectations prevail. Despite the centrality of critical minerals for the energy transition, few studies explicitly articulate both themes. The report proposes recommendations for policymakers, companies, and communities, aiming at more participatory practices. This is the first LNEG study on this topic, contributing to public policies and institutional strategies in the mining sector. | eng |
